Reflection on your season - how did your player fare on the ice this season? Did you meet or surpass your individual player goals or did you come up short? Whether you excelled or disappointed - what can you attribute that to? What will you try to do better next season?

Ursin Zimmermann had a solid year considering season 55. Thanks to the improved D partner he had Ursins stats improved as well. The 5 goals he scored were 5 less then he wished to get so he will increase his time in the shooting range a lot to improve his scoring next season. But the 20 assists were pretty great. Ursin wanted at least 20 assists so jeah he scored exactly how much he wanted. The goal for next season will be to get 25+ assists. Considering an even better defense this could definetly be possible. One stat Ursin always sucked at was the plus minus stat. He got better in this season with a minus of only 13. For next season his goal is to get a positive plus minus stat. A stat Ursin got bader over the season is shots blocked. But considering they play better overall he isnt that sad that this stat isnt that good anymore.

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

Being a bit of a homeboy i favor Switzerland to do better then expected! Switzerland added some solid new players and their core players improved even more! Their weeknes is still their defensive game even tough they have one of the best defenders in the league in their lineup with Mathias Seger. I expect them to reach at least the quarter finals. From there on everything is possible. The federation heads of switzerland are doing a great job motivating their team. The players do have some great connections with eachother. The players that stand out in this regard are Cal Labovitch and Michael van der Hajden (sorry if I spelled it wrong i am to lazy to look it up). I also expect Lallo Selman to do really good this season. He had a great season with Chicago and is expected to come in hot to show everyone how good he can be.

a. Both of these teams have an impressive set of skaters - without factoring in any coaching or tactical strategies, which team do you think has the better roster of skaters on paper?
b. Do you foresee the teams making any strategic adjustments during the course of the series? Should the teams be quick to switch tactics or stick with what they've been using?
c. These two teams hail from the Great Lakes Division. Which of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior) do you think is the Greatest and why?
d. If, once it is safe to do so, you had to go hang out in person with one of the users on Buffalo/Hamilton, who would you hang out with and what would you do? (if you pick gabe you get -1 tpe)

a) Well i expected Buffalo to be better then Hamilton considering they have one of the best players if not the best player on their roster with Monkey D Luffy. He is an awsome player with realy good hands and a nice scoring touch. Also the defense of Buffalo is stacked as hell.

b) Well i would stick to the tactics they had. They seemed to work during the season and it is hard to get used to a new playstyle overall as a team. But i would try to add some sneaky improvements to them like having a special trick during a faceoff or a set up play in the offensive zone.

c) Considering i am not from north america i dont really know these lakes so i will try to rank them after their names: so the best lake definetly has to be the superior lake. I mean his name even shows he is superior to the other lakes so i don't think any other lake can be greater.

d) I wanted to pick gabe but i dont want to loose tpe. So i have to pick Tomen. Tomen seems like a great guy and stands for his players. He also speaks german which makes it easier to communicate. He also likes to read which means we can nerd about books especialy the Witcher (I hope he is team Jenn @honkerrs)!
